Medical test results of the week

For those of you who follow my cancersploits and were wondering how my battery of scans from the other day turned out: a big old nugatory on all fronts.

I post this because I have noticed a marked tendency among the more melodramatically-inclined sector of the blametariat to speculate, in the absence of specific information to the contrary, that I am dead or dying.

Not yet, apparently.

Thanks to you all for your interest in my tumors and in my continued existence.

    Congrats on the nugatory Twisty!

    That’s great news!

  3. 3 brainiac9 Apr 16th, 2008 at 9:02 pm

    Hooray!

  4. 4 atheist woman Apr 16th, 2008 at 9:07 pm

    That is the best news I have heard all day!

  5. 5 norbizness Apr 16th, 2008 at 9:30 pm

    Great news, and I think you might owe that giant magical cancer-repressing pink credit card at Barton Creek Mall an apology.

  6. 6 Orange Apr 16th, 2008 at 9:33 pm

    Good stuff.

    Now, how about the occasional picture of a kickass and colorful vegetarian meal?

  7. 7 PhysioProf Apr 16th, 2008 at 9:40 pm

    That’s good news!

    I do, however, regret to inform your more melodramatically inclined blametariat that you are dying, as are we all. The only question is how fast.

    I know this kind of shit, because I am a fucking medical school professor.

    Good to hear :)

    Very good news, Twisty. Melodramatic or not, we really want you to thrive.

  10. 10 Ron Sullivan Apr 17th, 2008 at 12:08 am

    Yeah, good, but do you glow in the dark? Melodramatic minds want to know.

  11. 11 slythwolf Apr 17th, 2008 at 12:27 am

    I am very glad to hear it. Please continue to exist some more.

    Excellent news! Worthy of some vegetarian taco celebrations.

  14. 14 Betsy Apr 17th, 2008 at 5:52 am

    I am so glad to hear the news. Blame on.

  15. 15 Silence Apr 17th, 2008 at 6:25 am

    I heaved a deep sigh of relief.

    Great news — now go have a fine meal and celebrate.

  16. 16 Mar Iguana Apr 17th, 2008 at 6:33 am

    Outstanding! So good to hear all is nugatory.

  17. 17 Antoinette Niebieszczanski Apr 17th, 2008 at 7:07 am

    Mazel tov! I’m happy to hear your good news, and wish you many, many continued nugatories for the future.

  18. 18 narya Apr 17th, 2008 at 7:24 am

    hoo! (I’d give you a full woo-hoo, but there were so many un-hooed woos at a concert I attended last summer, I fear for the health of the atmosphere unless I use up some of those hoos.)

    On second thought, I can just use up a bunch of those hoos right here, in order to properly display my excitement.

  19. 19 BadKitty Apr 17th, 2008 at 7:32 am

    Way to go, Twisty. {sigh of relief} Every year out reduces the risk. My app’t is next Friday. Fingers crossed.

  20. 20 Panic Apr 17th, 2008 at 7:35 am

    Hooray!!

  21. 21 Calabama Apr 17th, 2008 at 9:02 am

    Great news, Twisty! Thanks for letting us know. And hoping for good results for you, too, BadKitty.

  22. 22 Cass Apr 17th, 2008 at 10:07 am

    That’s wonderful to hear, Twisty. I did wonder a bit during that long winter silence.

  23. 23 CLD Apr 17th, 2008 at 10:50 am

    Great news! Thanks for not being dead.

  24. 24 Stella Apr 17th, 2008 at 11:38 am

    To shamelessly plug my blog, I present the requested photo of “kickass and colorful vegetarian meal”. I think it’s appropriate to this blog to provide a picture of a vegan tostada.

    I’m so glad to hear that Twisty received the all-clear. Without this blog, I have no idea what I’d do at work.

  25. 25 Katherine Apr 17th, 2008 at 12:55 pm

    Very glad to hear of your continued well-being.

    After all, where would we all be without our Blamer-in-Chief?

  26. 26 Niki Apr 17th, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    As Merriam-Webster quoth, “w00t!”

    You have made a lot of women stronger-minded, the least we can do is try to return the favor. I bet you never thought you’d have cheerleaders!

  27. 27 Artemisia Apr 17th, 2008 at 1:46 pm

    Great news! I know I am one of the ones who worries a bit; thanks for placating me. Seriously, though. Glad to hear you are feeling better.

  28. 28 invisible Apr 17th, 2008 at 3:37 pm

    You’re welcome.

    P.S. I love the song AND video (except for the tawdry women)of RickRoll’D. Is it supposed to be a gaff on dorks, or something, because I freely admit that I am a dork.

  29. 29 invisible Apr 17th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

    P.P.S. I love all youse guys. (!Yikes,I mean guys AND GALS, of course!—True Human Beings, as it were.)

  30. 30 lawbitch Apr 17th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

    Twisty is still undead after all these years! May she blame on!

  31. 31 invisible Apr 17th, 2008 at 5:21 pm

    undead after all these years!

    Perfection.

  32. 32 bigbalagan Apr 17th, 2008 at 10:20 pm

    long may such tests remain nugatory. Much blamertraining remains…

  33. 33 Jodie Apr 18th, 2008 at 9:19 pm

    WOO HOO!!!

  34. 34 Cara Apr 18th, 2008 at 9:20 pm

    Thrilled about the nugatory.

  35. 35 Optimist Apr 18th, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    Yippee! Glad to hear you continue to exist!

    (Cancer Instituions are just one big Patriarical clusterfeck!)

  36. 36 MzNicky Apr 18th, 2008 at 9:51 pm

    Hi Twisty. I do care, very much, about your continued existence. Not to be melodramatic or anything.

  37. 37 Lurker Apr 19th, 2008 at 8:32 am

    Congratulations on the good medical news.

    I hope you are working on a book

  38. 38 jiyin Apr 19th, 2008 at 1:59 pm

    I’m glad you’re well, Twisty. Thanks for not dying.

  39. 39 Jeanne Apr 19th, 2008 at 8:19 pm

    Great news, Twisty! Stay well.
